Sorry you brake it up to me...
Do you use MIN, MED or MAX autobrakes...?
Definitely, a 737NG simulator is not a PanAm vintage, I do not recall too many of these in our fleet.
Nor many "747-421" as a matter of fact.
So they are new simulators.

PAIFA is now a TRTO using the old PanAm Academy name.
They bought the name. Anyone can buy a name. Even another airline used that name in the 1990s.
PAIFA is now the biggest bla bla bla. So is GM (or is it Toyota)...

I voiced my comments about PanAm as one of the old PanAmigos.
As you trained with them for your 737NG rating, is fine.
If your rating bears a tag as made by "United" or "Delta" would be the same.
If I lived in Miami, I could have continued to work for them.
But nothing much is left on 36th Street of the old Academy days.
Yes, the building.
As far as the instructor staff, I do not recall too many still active.
We all (me included) are old farts, smiling in reading the lines on Pprune.

I see the name PAIFA even used in Egan (MSP)...
For me, that smells much of NorthWest Airlines... nice training facility.
I would suspect that MSP facility is staffed by many NW instructor pilots.
So, do not call them PanAm...

As to the PAIFA in Arizona with CPL/IR training, they may be good or not.
The quality of training does not depend on a name.
Nowadays, everyone "sells" pilot licences.
Agreed with you, the USA is the best place to train, in view of costs.

what kind of Spacecraft are you flying...
I am just enjoying my old little Piper L-21B, a 1953 Korean War vintage.
And glad to be finally retired of this industry.
Hope you will enjoy it.
I suggest when you get interviewed for a job, that you do not ask that chief pilot about "his spacecraft".
He might be close to my generation...
